Patent GB-190421776-A (GB)
Title: Gas and Air Mixing Apparatus.
Inventor: DODGE CHARLES CLEVELAND
Filed: 1904-10-10
Granted: 1904-11-17
Abstract: 21,776. Dodge, C. C. Oct. 10. Mixing air and gases.-In an apparatus for mixing gas and air or other gases in desired proportions, a gas-meter drum B and an air meter drum C are mounted upon a shaft D in a casing A and are arranged to pass gas only when the mixture is being consumed. The casing is preferably constructed in two semicylindrical sections, which are flanged and riveted together, and is provided with two flanged openings or notches a<4> to receive central angular hubs a<11> ; the hubs are provided with inner and outer flanges a<111> to make tight joints with the notches. The hubs connect inlet gas and air pipes E, F respectively, and elbow pipes e, f for admitting gas and air to the interior of the drum. The shaft D is pivotally mounted in bearings projecting from the horizontal parts el,f of the elbow pipes. Each drum is provided with helical screw blades which are connected directly to hollow cylinders H, K fitted on the shaft by means of central airtight sleeves h, k. These cylinders act as floats for suspending the drums in the sealing-liquid placed in the casing, and thereby remove weight and pressure from the shaft. The screw blades are preferably set so that narrow inlets u are formed at the receiving-end and wide outlets w at the discharging-end. At the outlet end, each blade is provided with a notch or opening m so that the gas escapes from the compartments near to the central or mixing space X of the drum. The blades are preferably provided with a driving shoulder or offset. The head B' of the gas drum is provided with an opening b<111> of greater diameter than the part e<1> of the elbow pipe e, and a liquid seal is used, instead of a stuffing box, to prevent high-pressure gas from passing backwards. This seal comprises a circular disc l which fits tightly on the part e' of the elbow pipe and is enclosed within a chamber G made by securing a circular disc b<1>, with flanges n turned inwards, to the head B'. The disc b<1> is also provided with a central opening n<1> of greater diameter than the part e<1>. The air drum is constructed with helical blades forming measuring-compartments at in the case of the gas drum. The drums are so set that the outlets of one drum are engaged to discharge midway between the outlets of the opposite drum, so that the gas under pressure will never have a clear passage from the outlet of the gas drum through the compartments of the air drum. The mixture passes by a pipe L to the burners.

Patent GB-190525970-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Bottling Liquids.
Inventor: BRUCE CHARLES WILLIAM WALLACE
Filed: 1905-12-13
Granted: 1906-12-13
Abstract: 25,970. Bruce, C. W. W. Dec. 13. Bottling.-Relates to a rotary-table back-pressure machine for bottling aerated liquids. The filling- nozzles c are provided with liquid and gas ports e, f adapted to register with liquid and gas ports g, h respectively which extend round a suitable portion of the circumference of a stationary filling-head j. Between the ends of the gas port h is a smaller gas port x. Liquid is supplied to the filling-head by a pipe u, Figs. 1. and 3, from the lower chamber m of a cylinder k, and the upper chamber n of the cylinder which is filled with gas at the same pressure as the liquid, is connected to the gas ports h, x by connexions v, w respectively. Within the filling-nozzles are concentric spring- controlled tubes 8, 9, the outer one 8 being provided with an inlet 13 and outlet 14 and normally adapted to close the liquid passage e, and the inner one 9 serving to vent the bottle and also to operate a ball valve 7 which normally closes the gas passage f. The lower end of the tube 8 is formed with a perforated chamber 10 enclosing a float valve 11. The gas in the chamber n of the' cylinder k is maintained automatically at the pressure of the liquid by a tightly fitting float piston o having a tubular rod y provided with perforations 2.. Normally, the perforations are below, or within, the stuffing-box z and so the chamber is sealed, but if the pressure increases too much the float descends and the chamber is snifted through the openings 2. The movement of the float may. be limited by rods. In operation, when a bottle is placed on a rest and raised to the filling position,: it raises the tubes 8, 9, opening the inlet 13 to the liquid port e, and lifting the ball valve 7 off its seat. During the rotation of the machine, the port x is first opened and the bottle filled with gas through the pipe w, tube 9, and chamber 10. The liquid port g and gas port h are then opened and the bottle filled, the gas escaping through the tube 9, port h, and connexion v back to the chamber n. Should a bottle burst, the tubes 8, 9 return to normal positions and so close liquid and gas ' passages. If a bottle is filled before the ports g, h are cut off, the float valve 11 rises and closes the air tube 9, the pressure of the gas then preventing further flow of liquid.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Speed Gears.
Inventor: VEULLE FREDERICK HENRY DE
Filed: 1905-12-14
Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 26,031. Veulle, F. H. de. Dec. 14. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to variable-speed and reversing epicyclic gearing applicable to motor road vehicles &c., of the type in which the planet-pinions are rocked to and fro on their axes by a variable eccentric and drive the sun pinion in one direction only. To a flange A' on the driving - shaft A is bolted a planet carrier D, which extends past the planet pinions E and forms a bearing D' supporting planet spindles G at their other ends. One end of each spindle G is formed with an arm G<1> carrying a crank-pin G<2> projecting into a recess G<3> in a block G<4>, which lies in a recessed track O on a variable eccentric P. The eccentric P is screwed into a quadrant plate G, which is pivoted upon a pin Q<3> and operated by a worm Q<1>. The driven shaft B is in line with the shaft A and carries the sun-pinion F, which is constantly in mesh with the pinions E. The pinions E are connected to the spindles G by clutches disengaged positively against the action of springs L by cam mechanism during the inactive part of the stroke. In ore form of clutch, an incline K<1> on the rod K causes a wedge pin J to be thrust out and to expand a friction ring H, Fig. 3. In another form, a pin H<2> passing through the rod K is secured to one part of a claw clutch H'. Tappets for actuating the rodsK take the form of plungers N working in a fixed ring N<3>. Rollers N<1> on these tappets engage a cam plate M which can slide longitudinally on a bcss C<1>. A flange M', Fig. 6, at the centre of the plate M is formed with a cam-face M'. A recessed plate R which overhangs the plate M slides upon the flange M' and is provided with a cam-face R'. A cam controller S rotated by a lever S' acts upon the cams M', R', which are pressed to the right by springs in such a way that the plate M may be allowed to operate the plungers N, or that the plate R may act, thrusting all the clutches out of operation, or that the plates M, R may be moved together to the right A reverse may be obtained by suitably moving the eccentric P. In a modified construction of variable eccentric, the operation is effected by a pin working in slots. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that there may be used on a main shaft a safety clutch consisting of claws with inclined edges held against one another by springs.
